Lake Constance (Untersee!): Exclusive Waterfun Boattour

Imagine cruising through one of Germany’s most picturesque lakes, with crystal-clear waters and peaceful surroundings. This private Waterfun Boattour on the Untersee side of Lake Constance offers a delightful mix of calm scenery, watersports, and relaxing sunbathing— all for $364 for a group of up to five. Led by a friendly skipper, you’ll enjoy a 2-hour adventure aboard a stylish Sea Ray motorboat, complete with options for waterskiing, riding a fun tube, swimming, or simply soaking up the sun.

What we particularly love is how this experience combines luxury and flexibility. You’re not just along for a standard ride—you get to choose your preferred water activities, all with a private skipper who makes safety and comfort a priority. Plus, the boat’s ample lounge area and large stern platform make it easy to stretch out or jump into the water at your leisure.

However, a consideration to keep in mind is that water sports like waterskiing come with an extra surcharge of 50 euros per hour. Also, since there isn’t a built-in toilet onboard, planning a quick harbor stop for breaks is advisable if needed.

This tour is perfect for those seeking a relaxed, customizable day on the water, whether you’re traveling solo, with family, or a small group of friends eager for fun and beautiful scenery.

Once onboard, your skipper—a professional and friendly guide—takes care of everything, from navigating to ensuring your safety during watersports. This means you can truly relax and focus on having fun. Most passengers spend their time swimming, sunbathing, or trying out waterskiing and riding the fun tube.

If waterskiing interests you, remember it costs an additional 50 euros per hour. Whether you want to spend your entire trip waterskiing, or just have a quick ride, the flexibility is a big plus.
